He/she is wonderful, Karin! Especialy for such scale! It would really cool to see other ones in future too, especialy when they will be painted

I have a question: does this kind of Fimo reminds you plasticine? Or it's like clay?I need to find an alternative to Super Sculpey — we just haven't Super Sculpey in my country. Of course, it's because I was using it! It means that sellers need to put it out from the russian market!

Thank you Anasta, I hope to make more soon

Hmm, Fimo is a clay I think (don't know what plasticine feels like). It needs to be baked into an oven to harden.There a several different kinds of Fimo. The normal kind, who needs a lot of movement to get soft.The soft Fimo, who is, like the name says, a lot softer then the normal Fimo and easier to mold.And there are some specials, Fimo with effects like glitter or translucent when it is baked.Fimo is widely spread I think, and easier to find then Super Sculpy :)

Yes, I know about it, but I never had try to make something with Fimo. I have it everywhere, but price is CRAZY. I need to pay something about 200 rubles to get 45-50g of Fimo, while I pay 1200 rubles for 454g of Sculpey. Super Sculpey is absolutaly like plasticine (but it hold new form better). I have very big experience with plasticine, that's why Sculpey is my love I don't believe that you never make something with plasticine. In my country it's everywhere, any people know what is it. Maybe it calls in different way in your country? Well, it doesn't matter.Thank you anyway I found nice art shop and I need to get some materials from it. So don't worry about order

Yep, I totally agree with the price! For small things, Fimo is good. But for big sculpting, is is way to expensive! I don't know how it is called here, maybe I did without even knowing XDYou're welcome ^^I won't I know it is gonna be fine

Where are my glasses? Lovely tiny kitty! Karin, I am almost sure you know what is plasticine, this is by far the most used clay by kids here and I am sure it is everywhere. It is a kind of clay that never hardens. So kids and adultes can use and reuse it as many times as they want. I tried to check if Dutch Wikipedia had an article to it but strangely there's no link from English Wikipedia. Translator says that it is called Boetseerklei.

Hehehe, tiny kitty it is :3Ooooooohhhh, aha! If that is the case then yes, a lot actually XD Hahaha XDIt doesn't hard indeed. Thank you for the info Roger! Makes it all clear for me now :3

I hope you do Anasta! But for the info, does your clay harden as well?Or do I need to be very, very careful when I handle it when it arrives?

No, no, no, Karin, don't worry Now I prefer only harden material; when you start work, it's like plasticine (Fimo is soft too, but I don't know how it feels like, I just HATE natural clay), then, when you process it with high temperature, it became like something between plastic and stone for statuettes.

Oh, I remembered how it calls in English (I mean material for statuettes) — POLYSTONE

Of course, finished work isn't hard as major brands, but not very fragile. Well, you haven't drop it, of course

By the way, velvet clay (with which I'm making Willhelm) doesn't crash.

Thanks Anasta for your answer! Fimo is actually a lot like plasticine then Not like the natural clay types at all
